Chapter 288: Family Disputes in a Rich Family

When he returned to Machida's home, an old woman pushing a wheelchair soon came out. It was Machida's wife. Lingshi also remembered the content of the original transaction at this moment.

Should we say it was a coincidence or something, but they happened to land here using teleportation at midnight one day, and the system also happened to detect Machida's strong demand.

So Ling Shi went on a business trip, and the deal with Machida was to restore his wife's health, but the price was the loss of the ability to walk and some money.

At that time, their lives might be lost and the doctors were helpless, but at such a small price, they would not let go of this opportunity.

So the contract was signed, the system authentication was passed, and the transaction was completed, taking away her pain and ability to walk.

At that time, they decided to run away as soon as the matter was over, and teleported away again. Now that they came back and saw that the woman was fine, it was naturally expected that she would lose the ability to move.

"You're back. Is this a guest?"

Machida nodded.

"I just met some of these people at the feeding ground who came here specifically to see the cranes. Those kids helped me out, so I invited them to stay overnight."

The aunt in the wheelchair nodded,

"That's great. Thank you for helping our old man. He's so stubborn even at his age. He insisted on feeding the cranes by himself without me."

Machida: "Hmph, why should I take you out? It's so cold outside."

Mr. Machida stubbornly maintained a tough attitude to save face, but the way he pushed the wheelchair showed that he actually cared.

Aunt Machida didn't expose him, she just covered her mouth and laughed, shrugged her shoulders at midnight, this kind of life looks really good, a little envious, hiss.

The two people invited everyone into the house. Lingshi deliberately slowed down and fell behind, then rubbed against Huang Quan like a boneless person.

Huang Quan was helpless. This guy really did whatever he thought of. He patted his head and then walked forward with the boneless Lingshi.

When I entered the living room, I saw a red-crowned crane. After taking a closer look, I realized it was a specimen. I thought there was another red-crowned crane in the house.

Ling Cheng leaned over to take a closer look. He had just been far away, but now seeing this specimen, he couldn't help but move closer. He reached out his hand and turned back to ask:

"Mr. Machida, this looks like a specimen. Can I touch it?"

Mr. Machida looked up and nodded.

"Yes, I will make specimens of the red-crowned cranes that were injured or died of illness and donate them to schools and museums. This is just one I just made."

As he spoke, the door opened again. The man who came in this time was Mr. Machida's younger brother. Mr. Machida introduced him:

"He came here ten days ago. He's an unknown painter."

After saying that, he turned his head away, as if in disdain. Aunt Machida smiled helplessly and patted his shoulder, asking everyone not to mind, as that was how her husband spoke, without any ill intention.

Abao also said:

"Brother, if you're not famous, there's no need to talk about it."

"What I said is all true. Your lack of observation skills as a painter is your biggest fatal flaw."

Machida said again, and then introduced Lingshi and others to his family. Abao was surprised:

"Detective, could it be that you are the famous detective Maori Kogoro?"

When Kogoro Mouri saw that he knew him, he couldn't help but feel proud that his fame had spread to Hokkaido, but he was poured cold water on by Mr. Machida.

"Then you are wrong. Abao is from Tokyo."

Kogoro Mouri's pride instantly died down. Aunt Machida simply pulled the old man's hand, but the old man was still so cold and hard and could not speak.

Conan on the side discovered the tempered glass leaning against the wall and asked what it was used for.

Machida: "If we replace the frosted glass over there, we'll be able to enjoy the sight of the red-crowned cranes directly from this window."

After saying that, he did not forget to glance at his wife next to him. His aunt smiled at him but turned her head away embarrassedly, pretending not to know. This made Mao Lilan on the side couldn't help but sigh that they had a really good relationship.

The sound of a car engine was heard outside, followed by hurried footsteps on the aisle, and a man and a woman rushed in. The first thing they said was to ask the old man whether he really wanted to donate all his property to the village.

The old man was also very stubborn and directly admitted that he would use the money to take care of the red-crowned cranes and other migratory birds that came here forever.

One of the men asked directly:

"What? Instead of taking care of those birds, you should take care of your son."

The woman on the side also agreed.

"Dad, please help me. My clothing store is about to be sold to someone else."

Mr. Machida stood up and yelled at them angrily.

"Are you guys done yet? In front of the guests, all you talk about is money!"

Auntie came over with a wheelchair to comfort him, and looked at the two people who came in disapprovingly.

"You two, don't get angry with your father right away. We've already given you your share. We old couple have already decided on it."

The fact that his wife was on his side made the old man feel more justified and his anger subsided a lot.

The accused brother and sister became intimidated and rubbed their arms. Then they realized that there was no fire in the heater. No wonder it was so cold. They took out their lighters and went over there.

The one who was faster than the Machida couple was Abao. He immediately stopped him. As soon as his younger brother turned around, the lighter in his hand was knocked away by Mr. Machida who had reacted.

The younger brother was unconvinced and asked his father what he was doing. A Bao immediately explained for him:

"Last spring, some migratory birds nested on this chimney. Although there are no nests on it now, but..."

Machida: "But they're likely to come back this spring. Listen, you're not allowed to touch the stove or anything else in this house, okay?"

"Bird, bird, bird, you would rather take care of those birds than your own children. You are such a good father."

"Ahao!"

Aunt Machida looked over disapprovingly, and the brother shut up and turned his head away without saying anything else.

Mr. Machida quickly identified that the person who called them was Abao. Abao did not deny it, but instead expressed his own opinion.

Mr. Machida said that he was meddling in other people's business, and then announced that a lawyer would come at five o'clock this afternoon. As long as he stamped the documents, all his 300 million yen property would belong to the village after his death.

Zero Hour: Three hundred million. Oh my god, I think I asked for less.

System: Host, don't be too greedy. This is a fair trade recognized by this system. Greed will be penalized.

Midnight: Cut.

My sister immediately said that she would find a lawyer, but Mr. Machida said firmly that it was useless to find a lawyer, and then he pushed his wife away.

The brother and sister still didn't give up and plotted what to do in front of Lingshi and the others. Lingshi shook his head. Looking back, they realized that they had done a good deed in the past. They didn't let the old man be alone, and the red-crowned crane was by his side.

Seeing the protagonist leave, the other people also left one after another. The guests felt uncomfortable. Mao Lilan was worried and thought about going to see the two old people.
